About this event
Bargara Triathlon Club’s annual Australia Day Aquathon on Tuesday, 26 January 2027, is a unique swim-run challenge held at the beautiful Norville Pool in Bundaberg, QLD.
Participants enjoy a flat, fast, and scenic run loop, followed by lane-by-lane pool swims across the 50m pool to cover 400m, then return to the run. The real test? Repeating these run-swim transitions multiple times in a race that guarantees flat, crystal-clear water.
Compete as an individual or team in the Sprint Aquathlon distance (14+ years), which includes two runs and two swims: 3km run, 400m swim, 3km run, 400m swim, and a final 2km run. The event also features exciting Junior Aquathlons for kids, including categories for Hatchlings (3–6 years), Milbis (7–9 years), and Turtles (10–12 years), with distances tailored to each age group.
Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or new to aquathlons, this event offers a fun, challenging, and family-friendly way to celebrate Australia Day.
